Today, I fell in love
with the act of filling
my water jug as if
it was a caring watershed.
And I wanted
to put every joy
into cutting vegetables
because they nourish me;
to fold all of my affection
into my clothes because
they caress me;
to infuse endless delight
in tidying the house
because it wants
to indulge me.
Now, I am delirious
as if I found the lost
city of gold after
stumbling around
in the jungle all my life.
I am not really dancing
but the moves are audible.
On the surface, it is just
one of those sly,
starry-eyed smiles.
If you ask me
what I am doing
that makes me
so happy,
I will tell you,
"I finally
met someone
to love."
This poem is called "I Met Someone" by Nick LeForce
